They did their homework but figured getting everyone to read "Who moved my cheese?" would sort the problem.

The confidence of those with moderate success in unrelated fields and relative inexperience should not be underestimated.

My guess - they added breather pipes to prevent a syphon issue. It's not for water coming down but air (and smells) escaping the system.

Julian May's excellent Saga of the Exiles comes to mind.

The thread brought this t-shirt to mind, combined with Meta and Apple investing huge sums in immersive tech, and people attending gigs that watch the stage through their phone screens, as we slowly move toward the world Philip K. Dick wrote about in We Can Remember It for You Wholesale.

I would say they are cirrocumulus or altocumulus clouds. Beautiful shot.

You could also use a colon after 'same', drop 'shops:', and wrestle with an Oxford comma, but it wouldn't improve it.

Style/voice can be described as deliberatley breaking the rules. I prefer the voice of your original fragment.

The traction it's getting subsequent to the ITV drama really highlights the power of good storytelling: somehow the facts alone failed to cause the level of public outrage that repackaging into a neat story with relatable characters for the purpose of entertainment has achieved.

I'm not sure I understand the ramifications properly, or the nuances of 'public' vs 'available to millions of users'.

Where can I read more, to understand the objections users have to this?

I feel this is not something for which you should apologise; self care is important. Hope you enjoy a relaxing and love-filled yule, and that the new year brings some peaks to compensate for this year's toughs.

Seek out episode 527.

I knew very little about the implicatons of Reaganism, the fear of Japanese economic dominance of the 80s, and I had completely missed the implications of the Rolex until I listened to that episode.

I still love the film.

I saw Mastodon described as the social media platform for heavy users of keyboard shortcuts and the command line interface.

A quote often attributed W. Somerset Maugham: “There are three rules for writing a novel. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are.”
